I love birds, but I wonder about the humanness of making the live in a cage. Personally flying seems like it would be so much fun, and then to have to live in a cage with either clipped wings like some of the big birds or just never be allowed out of the cage like some of the small birds, doesn't seem like a great life. I haven't researched this at all, it's just my own opinion and I'm sure some pet birds have a good life, but in Victorian times, they would build a special aviaries where they kept plants and the birds could fly all over it. This seems very humane to me. My sister-in-law just lets her birds fly all over her house and she has the poop to prove it! Anyway, good luck with your decision. |
